Honestly, if you've got decent notes from your classes that might even be enough. If you're up near the top of your class you could probably just go take it without studying. If you're not, just find any sort of review material and brush up on the basics.

University of Michigan Chemical Engineering. I did well but still I feel that I definitely need to brush up. I have a technical engineering job so that helps. I have been a Mechanical Engineer in practice since graduating so I am going to take the ME exam.

Fire Hoke you aks? Well that's the question for the fuckin' ages, ain't it?

Ah, I gotcha. Good call on studying up a bit if it's been that long. It was definitely nice to get it out of the way while even the material I hated and wasn't interested in was fresh in my mind.

Maybe others had a different experience, but I thought the biggest skill they tested was just being able to figure out what type of equation you might need and then look it up in the reference manual relatively quickly. The book they give you to use is massive and decently organized, so if you've got an idea of where to go it's not too tricky.

The percentage you need to pass is something like 60%, so if you made it through Michigan, you should be fine.

online and the only questions I missed were the straight up math questions. I forgot how to frickin' integrate. Ugh. I used to know that backwards and forwards. Anyway, bottom line is I could use a good refresher.

I took a course - the one I took was "Test Masters." It was a commitment but brushed up on everything you needed to know. I'd definitely recommend that approach - it's amazing how much you forget if you don't use it everyday.

I used the PPI books to take the General exam after being out of school for four years. If you're working as an ME you should take the ME portion. Just took my PE for Environmental in April but don't find out if I passed for 12 weeks.

**(and is it redundant to call it an FE examination, as it would be redundant to call something else the MCAT test? [though I at least submit that would be less annoying than "I just took the MCATs" or "LSATs", apropos which: no, unless you covertly concealed that little diddy just now under the confusing veil of your I've-taken-many-"MCATs"-which-is-plural-which-you-didn't-expect looking and sounding identical to a commonplace dialectic idiocy which is most peoples' I-don't-give-my-words-much-thought-and-oh-yeah-what's-a-singular-mean-? "MCATs", you most certainly did not just take the MCATs.])

"I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly - or ever - gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a dark night sky filled with countless stars loses a sense of their fundamental connectedness to the universe."

Go to Barnes and Noble. They have a section devoted to test preparation. You will be able to thumb through the books to find one you like.

Finding the best study guide is really dependant on what areas you need to be refreshed in. Since you've been out of school for so long, you are probably going to want to find one that focuses on some of the basics, with sample questions and solutions.

Look through the info booklet that they will give you during the test. You can find almost all the answers they will ask somewhere in the booklet. You can go on the ncees website and download a pdf of it if you already havent. if you know how the information is organized and where to it up, you will be ok. since it has been a few years since school for you, looking through the booklet may help you figure out what else you need to brush up on.

Standard time to get the FE results is 12 weeks. They pass/fail people based on a percentage of all test takers, so they have to wait for an entire round of testing to finish up at a ton of locations before they can make decisions.
